A U.S. public service announcement about forest fires. I found this in a 6 April 1952 TV episode (search that date and you should be able to find it), but I'm not sure when it first aired...for all I know, it may have first aired in a previous year. Unfortunately, the closing moments of the PSA were cut-off during its broadcast in the program. Please note that the song in this PSA is presumably still copyrighted. I would request that if you upload this to YouTube, that you don't use my first...
